Playing a DVD
A Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is similar to a standard CD but
has greater data capacity. Because of this increased capacity,
full-length movies, several albums of music, or several
gigabytes of data can fit on a single disc. DVDs can be played
on a DVD player or a DVD drive-equipped computer. For more
information about playing DVDs, see your online User Guide.
Playing a Blu-ray Disc
Blu-ray Disc is a high-capacity optical disc that can store much
more data than a DVD. A dual-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold
50 GB of files, about 23 hours of standard-definition video, or
about nine hours of high-definition video. Blu-ray Discs can
be played on a Blu-ray-compatible player or a Blu-ray
drive-equipped computer. For more information about
playing Blu-ray Discs, see your online User Guide.
Playing an HD-DVD
HD-DVD is a high-capacity optical disc that can store much
more data than a DVD. A dual-layer HD-DVD can hold 30 GB
of files, about 14 hours of standard-definition video, or about
5.5 hours of high-definition video. HD-DVDs can be played on
an HD-DVD-compatible player or an HD-DVD drive-equipped
computer. For more information about playing HD-DVDs, see
your online User Guide.
